Hmm, the siege ellies could make a difference. If I still get them even though I'm age 1. 4 siege ellies plus our explorers plus a batch of 5 sepoy all in the TC early af.

sorry yeah its kinf of confusing, but the advantage of having someone feed is that they are not spending 800 res to age, which means they are boosting you that much that early is what makes it work. but as long as he is tributing res it starts to lose value because of the 15% trib tax.


my only question about the team 2 flail ele card is will someone is age 1 still get them. I think they should but I do not know

yes team 5 urumi it cost 600 food.

another thinking since in this build you still have to collect food. maybe worth trying in comp stomp, is to have the german tribute 200 food to start, build 1 vil and gather 45 more food to send another 100. then train a vil and tribute 100 more, it might work out that the german keeps up vil production but is just not banking any food to age with, keeping their eco strong. but that might cost some time

We discussed perhaps myself staying discovery and maintaining constant vil production, but feeding him long enough for him to jump to fortress and send urumi.

that seems riskier, because waiting til age 3 to attack might put them in a more stable colonial position where they might lose a lot of troops but will u have the siege to kill his buildings. It might work though. worth a try. Id test BO on a comp for timing

Well we wouldn't wait, he'd lay the pressure on with 7 sepoy, 4 flail elephants, and our explorers the second wave would be him hitting fortress and sending urumi while I hit colonial and send uhlan

that would be some nice waves i think!

you would have to do something early other wise a fast age 2 would alarm them to prepare for rush

Yeah. I'm thinking of if because of my very delayed colonial I should consider sending a second discovery card instead of just 2sw. Perhaps the Explorer card would pay off because of his involvement in the strategy.

21

Colonial militia would make for a good addition I think. They do so much damage. I could call both sets and include them in the fortress push/colonial push
